Wow, that's a big expensive book. It seems like it's mostly dealing with legal aspects though. I've never read this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...8736861?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180350953&sr=1-2,
but it seems like a better one to start off with.

Hi Fab,

Thanks for your reply.
Yes it is a bit expensive but i expect it to be complete. I hope to found someone who has yet read this one !

The one you advice me is Domain Names for Dummies, i don't know how to take this :smilewinkgrin:

Joking aside i'm looking for more advanced books on branding and domaining but anyway will have a look at this one.

I've read we will start to see some books come out on domainers and domaining, about how some of the bigger players got started, etc. Those will be good, but I haven't seen much yet out there on the domaining business other than articles.

You have all the information you need to learn about domains on this forum. Use the search function. There are no "advanced" books on domaining.

You took the words right out of my mouth.
Read this forum. Better info here than any book that will ever be written on domaining.

Yes for example i've recently seen this one about the sex.com story.

dvestors and Ed30 thanks for this advice, i am yet reading very carrefully this forum but i need something to read when i am not in front of my computer. I agree dnf is really a great place for learning about domain names but forums in general are so time-consumming :smilewinkgrin:

I agree with the others, there really arent any books on domaining. All the info in the world that you need about domaining is on the forums and other websites.

Hi Tomsa,

I am very much a book person myself, but the domain industry is still evolving so quickly that I'm not sure books could keep up!

They might work for history and background...
